What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on LU Missouri:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. According to the VA, there are 94 GI Bill® students at LU Missouri. Since the total enrollment at the school is 1,357, roughly 6.9% of the students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. To put that into context, the Student Veterans of America estimates that roughly three to four percent of all U.S. college students are veterans.
Note, this figure includes all chapters of the GI Bill® program (e.g., Post-9/11, Montgomery GI Bill®, Reserve Education Assistance Program, and Veteran Readiness and Employment). It does not include any active-duty military personnel attending via Tuition Assistance, so the total military population is potentially larger.
